Herbs: Herbs, the useful plants, have been grown in kitchen gardens since the earliest times, and were among the precious cargo brought with the colonists on their journey to America.Edible Flowers: Ancient herbals and still-room books- the cookbooks of their age, and are filled with recipes using flowers. Salads were gathered from garden and field; violets, nasturtiums, pot marigolds, and clove gillyflowers (dianthus) lent welcome color and often piquant flavor. Flower butters, syrups, conserves and confections were relished as well, and flowers were pickled and stored in crocks, to be eaten in the dark days of winter.

Minty liquorice scented leaves make one of the best fresh-leaf teas available, much used as a delicious tummy soother! The tender young leaves can be chopped and added to salads that call for mint as well. This new variety has a compact, well-branched habit and saturated violet-blue flowers.
